‘Game of Thrones': Just to be clear, here’s how Jon Snow and Daenerys are related

So if you’re a more casual fan of “Game of Thrones” who doesn’t constantly pore through all the lore or keep track of family trees, you may have been wondering what exactly that revelation about Jon Snow (Kit Harington) in the Season 7 finale meant.

If that’s you, well, fear not because we’ve got you covered with all the important info you need to contextualize the news that Jon Snow is actually named Aegon Targaryen.

So, the Season 6 finale provided a pretty heavy-handed hint about Jon Snow’s true identity, when it flashed back to Ned Stark’s visit to the Tower of Joy, where Ned’s sister Lyanna gave birth to Jon. Before Lyanna died, she revealed Jon’s true identity to Ned: Jon is the son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, who had been killed during Robert’s Rebellion. Ned kept Jon’s true identity a secret to keep the baby safe — being the grandson of the Mad King, Jon was actually the heir to the Iron Throne. Which would mean that King Robert would have wanted to kill him after wiping out most of the rest of the Targaryen family.

The other members of the family who had survived were Viserys and Daenerys, offspring of the Mad King and siblings to Rhaegar — Viserys was killed way back in season 1, and we all know who Dany is. Jon, then, is Daenerys’ brother’s son, making her his aunt, and Jon her nephew. They’re about the same age, though, yes — Dany was born on Dragonstone near the end of Robert’s Rebellion, with Jon born shortly after.

Also Read:'Game of Thrones': So Are Jaime and Cersei Done?So, yes, Dany and Jon having sex in the Season 7 finale is actually incest. But, fortunately for viewers of “Game of Thrones,” we’ve had seven years to get used to that sort of thing thanks to twin siblings/lovers Jaime and Cersei Lannister being at the forefront of the narrative since the beginning. So somehow an aunt hooking up with her nephew doesn’t seem that weird!

Watch me edit a 30 minute style into 1 minute. 😩Game of Thrones fans, here it is! Mother of dragon braid tutorial on my @chelsiegambo 👑⚔️🥀 This one took so long to edit and is extremely short, so here's a quick break down. 1. Use Blow Dry prep by @kenraprofessional 2. Section hair as shown. 3. First braid is a Dutch braid, second is a lace braid, and third is a regular 3 strand. 4. Do the same thing on the opposite side. 5. Add extensions (@societyextensions) 6. Spray @kenraprofessional Shaping spray and curl hair horizontally with a one inch iron. 7. Pin into place as shown but you want to connect the braids underneath with hair elastics tfor stay into place.. 8. Curl front pieces. Wowza that's a lot of steps for the queen. 👑⚔️🤷‍♀️ Hope you liked it, would you like more? #kenraprofessional #braidsofthrones #gothair #gameofthroneshair #gameofthrones

So excited to share the third collaboration in my Flower Crown Braid series! ♥️🌹Today I am twinning with the amazing @moonlightbraids 😍 go check out her version! All of her braids are also super impressive. We chose to do a classic three stand crown braid and used brightly coloured carnations as our flower. I'm also starting to feel the fall vibes so I went for that deep purple lip.
